Raising a Barn

A Momentary Interruption with a Non-Bronx Post.

People who have been following the old Port Kelsey blog will know we have been waiting to get started on a new building for Fast Tracks. Well, today it finally got started!

At the crack of dawn, which is a crack too early for me, equipment showed up and started clearing out the location where the building will be built. There was a few decades of crud there that all needed to be cleared away. Watching them do this job with heavy equipment makes me want to sell my shovel. What would have taken me all summer took a couple of hours.

I took a shot of the action from the opposite corner of the yard, and will try to do so everyday until the build is complete. Should be interesting to watch the progress.

Here is day 1.

Now, back to the Bronx.

btw, Getting this building up will free up the space for the Bronx Terminal layout, so the timing is perfect.
